Chiappa Firearms Triple Crown 28" 12 Gauge Shotgun 3" Break Open, Oil - 930.078

Chiappa's and Triple Crown shotguns are basically built around a conventional break-open mechanism that's typical of all over and under and side by side shotguns, albeit of course scaled up for the dimensions of the massive breech and three barrels overall. Both models feature a standard manual safety crest, a standard opening lever, and a single trigger. Opening the breech requires quite some energy, it's hard and heavy, but it's necessary as the opening movement also automatically arms the three internal strikers of the gun providing such a system with external hammers would of course be impossible. On the other side, though, the trigger is quite light on both versions, and the three barrels can be emptied on a target as fast as the shooter can pull the trigger, the extra weight overall and the compensation ports on the barrels definitely help to keep recoil and muzzle climb to a minimum, even when firing 3 inches shotshells. It feature sturdy, classy wooden stocks and forends, and individual RemChokes on each of the three barrels. The Triple Crown model is definitely more apt for hunting, as it features three 28 inches barrels, topping an overall length of 45 inches, an overall weight that reaches up to 8.7 lb, and coming with a high visibility front sight and a long rib.
